My goal is to provide your child and
family
with tools to help everyone succeed no matter if the difficulties are surrounding school or behavioral difficulties at home.
I enjoy working with children and families who are struggling in school either academically, behaviorally, or emotionally. I primarily evaluate children and adolescents to assess the presence of learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, depression, and anxiety. My passion is helping children succeed at home and school through a combination of therapy, organizational coaching, behavior management, parental support and educational planning.

While I have experience with all ages and a number of behaviors and diagnoses, my main focus is working with clients and/or
family
who are struggling with Borderline Personality Disorder. I utilize DBT and EMDR, among other approaches, to help the client find a way to regulate their symptoms and utilize new ways of approaching issues. I believe in education about what is going on in the mind and body so the client can leave my office with information and skills that can be utilized on a daily basis in order to achieve real change.

Going through a divorce, separation, affair, addiction and your
family
is struggling with life transitions? Is your child acting out or having a hard time adjusting to your
family
changes? Are you feeling increased anxiety, panic, fear, worry or depression or other seemingly debilitating emotions? It might be time to seek help from a licensed counselor.
Are you ready to see your life transform and find peace and happiness? YES! Perhaps you have read through 100s of therapist’s profiles and are not sure who is your best fit? We practice brief therapy, which means you will find yourself feeling better faster as long as you do the suggested work. Life can bring about changes quickly and our minds and bodies are not equipped to adjust to them as fast as those around us would like. We can help you adjust to these changes through strength based collaborative therapy and implementing lasting solutions to everyday challenges. We offer in person and telehealth appointments.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
